.TH SASL_SERVER_INIT 3SASL "Oct 22, 2003"
.SH NAME
sasl_server_init \- SASL server authentication initialization
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR ... ] \fIfile\fR ... \fB-lsasl\fR   [ \fIlibrary\fR ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>

\fBint\fR \fBsasl_server_init\fR(\fBconst sasl_callback *\fR\fIcallbacks\fR, \fBconst char *\fR\fIappname\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Use the \fBsasl_server_init()\fR interface to initialize SASL. You must call
\fBsasl_server_init()\fR before you make a call to \fBsasl_server_start()\fR.
\fBsasl_server_init()\fR may be called only once per process. A call to
\fBsasl_server_init()\fR initializes all SASL mechanism drivers, that is, the
authentication mechanisms. The SASL mechanism drivers are usually found in the
\fB/usr/lib/sasl\fR directory.
.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIcallbacks\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 13n
Specifies the base callbacks for all client connections.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIappname\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 13n
The name of the application for lower level logging. For example, the sendmail
server calls \fIappname\fR this way:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
sasl_server_init(srvcallbacks, "Sendmail")
.fi
.in -2

.RE

.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
\fBsasl_server_init()\fR returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error
code.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBSASL_OK\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 11n
The call to \fBsasl_server_init()\fR was successful.
.RE

.sp
.LP
All other error codes indicate an error situation that must be handled, or the
authentication session should be quit. See \fBsasl_errors\fR(3SASL) for
information on SASL error codes.

be called until this function completes.
